Hi,

What happens when you try to transfer MP4's to your ipod? Are the MP4's recognized in itunes? If so, can it play them?

To download songs to iPod nano: m Simply connect iPod nano to your computer. If iPod nano is set to update automatically, the download begins. Important: The first time you connect iPod nano to a computer, a message asks if you want to transfer songs automatically. If you accept, all songs, audiobooks, and other items are deleted from iPod nano and replaced with the songs and other items from that computer. If you don’t accept, you can still download songs to iPod nano manually without deleting any of the songs already on iPod nano. While music is being downloaded from your computer to iPod nano, the iTunes status window shows progress, and the iPod nano icon in the Source list flashes red. When the download is complete, a message in iTunes says “iPod update is complete.” If you set iTunes to download music manually, you can reset it later to update iPod nano automatically. For more information, see “Updating iPod nano Manually” on page 22. To reset iTunes to update iPod nano automatically with all songs and playlists: 1 Open iTunes and select iPod nano in the Source list. 2 Click the Options button and click Music. 3 Select “Automatically update all songs and playlists.” The download begins automatically.
if you need further assistance please let me know. Thanks, MIDWEst-tek

Open up iTunes and if you don't have it you can download it from here http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ then when it's open you can import music by clicking file in the top left corner and then import/open file(s) once you have selected your file(s) you can then plug your iPod in if isn't already and then when you see the iPod Nano tab appear on the side bar on the left hand side you can go to the music library and just simply drag and drop your files to where it says "iPod Nano" or whatever you called it Hope this helps.

you are going to have to reload the music in a mp3 format for it to play

Go to itunes and click on a song that you want to delete and press the delete button on your keyboard and it will ask you if you are sure you want to delete this song from all playlists and off the ipod and click yes and it will delete. Unfortunately, it will not let you delete it from the ipod menu without connecting it to a computer.

Hi! Congrats for your ipod nano. Use latest version of iTunes available on http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/. Install it and then connect your ipod with the pc. Hope this solves your concern.

There are multiple sites you can enter to download music, the one i have used before is www.limewire.com, download the driver and search away its free

There is a program called IPOD ACCESS that will allow you to work outside of ITunes and will allow you to backup your library to your computer. Good Luck

choose music under your ipod icon in itunes. once that windows is open drag and drop music from your music folder to the itunes window. make sure your ipod is set to manually manage.
